Fuse wire is a wire of :

Twelve horizontal telephone wires are supported by a vertex telegraph post , 5 wires ecrossing from the north and 7 wires from the rest . If all the wires are under the same tension , in which direction should the stay wire be fixed ? What is the resultant ten be fixed ? What is the resultant tension in the stay wire ?

One end of wires of the same metal and of same length (with radius, r and 2r ) are joined together. The wire is used as sonometer wire and the junction is placed in between two bridges. The tension T is applied to the wire. If at a junction a node is formed then the ratio of number of loops formed in the wires will be:

Two long, straight wires, one above the other, are separated by a distance 2a and are parallel to the x-axis. Let the y-axis be in the plane of the wires in the direction form the lower wire to the upper wire. Each wire carries current I in the +x-direction. What are the magnitude and direction of the net magnetic field of the two wires at a point in the plane of wires: (a) midway between them? (b) at a distance a above the upper wire? (c) at a distance a below the lower wire?

Two wires are in unison. If the tension in one of the wires is increased by 2%, 5 beats are produced per second. The initial frequency of each wire is

Three infinitely long wires, each carrying a current 1A, are placed such that one end of each wire is at the origin, and, one of these wires is along x-axis, the other along y-axis and the third along z-axis. Magnetic induction at point (-2 m, 0, 0) due to the system of these wires can be expressed as

A flash bulb used for taking photograph in poor light contains 30 mL of O_(2) at 780 mm pressure at 27^(@)C . Suppose that metal wire flashed in the bulb is pure aluminium (Al) and it is oxidised to Al_(2) O_(3) in the process of flashing, calculate the minimun weight of Al wire that is to be used for maximum efficiency.
